Chapter 45: The Shrike (I)
Although the voice is very soft, the feeling of warmth is ......
"Su Chen!" An Youran turned his head and looked at the person behind him in shock: his originally handsome face was now as white as paper, there was no blood on his lips, his chest was red, and blood was dripping down his hanging fingertips.
"What's wrong with you!?" An Ran couldn't help but let out a low cry, and stretched out his hand to support the crumbling Su Chen, "Sit down!" ”
Let Su Chen sit down on the chair, An leisurely untied his clothes to check the injury, only to see a knife mark from the shoulder slanted through the chest, blood flowed in, skin and flesh flew up, and white bones were faintly visible, if it weren't for the heart goggles he was wearing, it is estimated that he would have died in Huangquan!
Quickly turned out the medicine box and took out the life-sustaining pill and put it in Su Chen's mouth, sprinkled the golden medicine on the knife wound, and bandaged it properly with clean gauze, seeing that the blood was no longer oozing, An Youran let out a long breath, and asked in a concerned tone: "What happened?" How could it hurt so badly? ”
"We went to assassinate Liu Kun, and the operation failed......" Su Chen endured the pain, his lips trembled slightly, "That old thief ambushed heavy soldiers, and our people suffered heavy casualties!" ”
"Didn't you promise me that if I acted, I would ward beforehand!? Why don't you keep your word? An Youran looked gloomy, "If you take such a risk, you will only die in vain!" ”
"I've been looking for you," Su Chen grabbed An Youran, who was about to leave, and touched the wound, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, "But you're not ......"
"Don't move," Seeing Su Chen's painful appearance, An Youran's heart couldn't help but soften, and he squatted down to help him wipe the sweat on his head, "If the wound is cracked, it won't be good." If you can't find me, can't you slow down and do it again? ”
"No way!" Su Chen gritted his teeth and shook his head, "The old thief is going to leave for Yaozhou tomorrow, not only is it thousands of miles away, not to mention that my people have nothing left, going to the heavily guarded Zhongyuan Marquis Mansion is undoubtedly a moth to fight the fire, and it must be done today!" And ......"
He frowned, and slammed his fist on the table, "There is news from Lingbei, the time for handing over talismans is approaching, if you can't get the tiger talisman and can't bring back Liu Kun's head, our clan will be wiped out!" ”
Hearing the joy of Hu Fu'an's leisurely heart, he was about to reach into his arms, but he heard a noisy voice from outside the garden, and a large number of torches illuminated the courtyard very brightly, obviously a guard came.
Oops!? An Youran and Su Chen looked at each other, and their faces turned pale at the same time!
"No, I'll get them away!" Su Chen struggled to get up from his chair, "Staying here will implicate you." ”
"Don't go anywhere for me!" An leisurely raised his arm in front of Su Chen, and said with a serious expression, "First, you can't run far if you are injured, and going out is definitely a dead end!" Second, your blood has spattered all over my room, and as long as they search, I will be regarded as an accomplice, and I will not be able to escape! ”
"So you're obedient!" Afraid of hurting his wounds, An leisurely pulled him to the closet, took out one of his blue cloth robes, and said, "You put this on first!" ”
"This?" Su Chen said in embarrassment: "I'm too small!" ”
"You don't have to wear it all!" Ignoring Su Chen's objections, An leisurely shook off his clothes and helped him put them on, "As long as you can cover the blood stains on your chest!" ”
Sure enough, the tall Su Chen put on An Ran's clothes to restrain his hands and feet, and was completely tied to his body, "What does this look like?" I'm still good to take it off! ”
"Don't worry," An leisurely stopped Su Chen's hand that was about to take off his clothes, and smiled slyly, "Just process it!" ”
He took out a dagger from his sleeve, cut a lot of small openings in the blue cloth robe that Su Chen was wearing, and directly cut off the narrow short cuffs and hem of his clothes that were obviously ill-fitting, as if he had been robbed.
"You can do this, it's ...... below" Gu Bu explained to Su Chen, he walked quickly towards the snow owl's shelf, first bowed to it with his hands together, and said something in his mouth, "Snow Shadow, Snow Shadow, raise soldiers for a thousand days, use soldiers for a while." Master, I am in trouble today, so I rely on you to save people from fire and water, don't blame me! ”
As he spoke, he picked up the snow owl and began to tug at its feathers. The snow owl was originally a bird of prey, and it would naturally resist when it was in pain, but I saw that it used its beak and claws together, and it was so injured that An Youran's arms and face were scarred, and there were several deep wounds and even blood gushing out.
"Xiao An......" Su Chen just wanted to catch the snow owl, but was stopped by An Youran's look, and let the snow owl bite and hurt him.
Looking down at the blood stains on the ground, he shook his head and said to himself, "Not yet, the wound doesn't match the bloodstain." After thinking about it, he stabbed the dagger in his hand backwards to himself.
Su Chen was so startled that he hurriedly stepped forward to stop it, but after all, he was half a step slower, and the red blood was already dripping down his wrist.
Understanding Su Chen's doubts, An leisurely leaned into his ear and said softly: "Just cooperate with me later, don't worry!" ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for the guards to knock on the door, took the initiative to open the door, released the snow owl in his hand, and ran out with a cloak, shouting sharply: "Help!" This bird is crazy and wants to eat me! ”
"Brother Bajie?" His scream drew onlookers from the guards, "What's wrong?" What's going on!? ”
"Oops! I'm going to have eight lifetimes of mold today! An leisurely raised his finger and pointed to the snow owl in the air, "It's not this flat-haired beast I raised, I don't know what evil happened tonight!" The master was sleeping well in the house, and this evil beast suddenly attacked me! ”
"Look! You see! He excitedly showed the guard the wound on his body, "It's so dangerous, I almost didn't peck it to death!" Fortunately, Su Chen heard the movement next door, otherwise my life would be really difficult to protect today! ”
"Brother Bajie, you are not lightly injured." One of the chief guards said worriedly.
As the saying goes, 'the prime minister's door is a seven-grade official', An Youran is a close attendant by the prince's side, so there are not a few people who usually flatter him. Now seeing that he is injured, these guards also look concerned.
"Yes! You didn't see the ferocity of this beast! An leisurely waved her hand and deliberately splashed blood, "It's a mess in my room, it's blood, it's bird feathers, it's really bearable!" ”
Pretending to remember suddenly, he asked strangely, "Alas? Brother Guard, what are you doing here late at night? ”
"Brother Bajie, you don't know yet, do you?" The chief of the guard said mysteriously, "Just now, the madman who came out of nowhere ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and dared to assassinate the Marquis of Zhongyuan, Old Marquis Liu, in the middle of the night!" ”
"Ahh - "An opened her mouth wide and exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Who is so bold? Is Old Marquis Liu injured? ”
"Old Marquis Liu is naturally a good man!" The chief of the guard beamed proudly, "Since the night banquet was assassinated, these brothers of our Si Sheng Department have strengthened their guards every day, just waiting for the moment when these fanatics will fall into the net!" ”
"No wonder Old Marquis Liu was able to be safe and sound this time, the daring is caused by the big brothers' precautions and hard work!" An leisurely praised with a look of admiration, "Presumably, with such a hard contribution this time, the prince and the marquis will definitely be rewarded!" When it's time to drink and celebrate, you have to call your little brother! ”
"Of course! Brother Bajie can come, but the brothers can't ask for it! The chief of the guard smiled from ear to ear, and then said with some regret, "It's just that a few assassins let him escape, otherwise the brothers would have already received the reward by now!" ”
"So you're here to search for the Assassins!?" An leisurely looked like he suddenly realized, "Then go up to my house and check to see if there are any assassins hiding inside, otherwise I won't dare to sleep this night!" ”
walked to the door, turned his back to the guard and winked at Su Chen, and shouted loudly, "Su Chen, Su Chen, don't clean up, go out and search the house for the big brother of the guard, we are so at ease, aren't we?" ”
Grabbing Su Chen who came out with his bleeding hand, he shouted in a fuss, "You see this beast is a beast, even Su Chen's clothes are in tatters, I am going to make a fortune now." ”
Not long after the guards entered the house to check, An Youran began to give full play to his superb acting skills again, and exclaimed at the bloody handprint that was deliberately smeared on Su Chen's arm, "Is this my blood?!" Why are you still streaming? My head ......"
He stroked his forehead with his hand and almost fell, "My head is so dizzy!" Su Chen, has the guard brother searched well? Help me into the house and lie down on the medicine! ”
When the guard who was inspecting the house heard the loud noise outside the house, he naturally wouldn't stay for long, so he only glanced at the room roughly, and then went out of the house and said to An leisurely, "Brother Bajie, there are no thieves in the house, it's very safe, you go in and take medicine!" We have other places to search, so let's take our leave! ”
Half-leaning on Su Chen, An Youran's eyes closed slightly, and he raised his hand weakly, "Brother Guard, it's easy to go, it's important to catch the thief!" Our brother is polite, I often come to sit when I have time! ”
